Title: Someday You Will Be Loved Artist: Death Cab for Cutie Director: Ace Norton Year Released: 2006
There are a handful of questions out there that would land in the "Big Questions" category. What's the meaning of life? Who am I? Life after death? Ben Gibbard is no stranger to questions of the sort and certainly does not shy away on the Plans album.
"Someday You Will Be Loved" is a story of abandonment. It's a story of brokeness. It's a story of pursuit... of hope.
Gibbard writes...
You may feel alone when you're falling asleep
And everytime tears roll down your cheeks
But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved.
You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
If in fact, humanity continually shows up to the world with questions (big or small) to be answered, is this not one of the big ones? Can I experience love at a level that I have yet to experience - "more than I never have known"?
Seems to be a question that shapes our general experiences. Seems to be a question Gibbard is intrigued by. Seems to be a question we are all intrigued by. Maybe, the real is why?
I like this video because the lyrics express that no matter how bad things may be, there is a reason for everything. And even if it doesn't seem like it, there is someone who has always loved you. You just have to find him fist.
We apologize as we are currently experiencing a few technical problems (registration and some sections). The good news is these problems are the pre-cursor to a new site we are working on (both in design and philosophy). In the short term, we hope to fix these problems soon. Thanks for your patience.
